Canada can be the first proud nation to say that it put an end to nation-endorsed homophobia, under the law at least.
This from Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin:
"We are a nation of minorities. And in a nation of minorities, it is important that you don't cherry-pick rights.
"A right is a right and that is what this vote tonight is all about."
What about the U.S.? Well, I was watching The Simpsons this past Sunday when a Parental advisory appeared before the show warning parents of themes regarding same-sex marriage. Just one example illustrating that we still have a long way to go.
